Not sure if anyone has seen this, lot like Cracker from a ways back.

This is a taut British crime drama very much in the "Cracker" mould. In this case, our lead character is Dr. Tony Hill. It features a crime-weary psychotherapist who is part profiler, part detective, part forensics expert. (Think "Cracker" meets "Inspector Morse" meets "CSI").There is a bookish, academic quality to Doctor Hill, without him being tweedy and standoffish (he's more human, and less lofty than Morse).
Dr. Hill is well played by actor Robson Green, who played another complex Detective in the British miniseries "Touching Evil."
In "Wire in the Blood" the stories and the crimes often unfold slowly, with just enough bits of clues and hints to make the slow development seem satisfying.

I was going to write much the same myself, but then looked it up on IMDB for a link and realised this guy had written exactly what I was going to write already. So here it is.
I like it. Good strong characters with a sense of gritty realism, the police station for instance isn't a flash new police station but a run down, too small dump. The 'flagship' NHS Hospital is falling to peices barely finished, under staffed and under funded.
It is clever and interesting and a bit gruesome all at the same time.
